We are working toward a way-less-plastic household. We are eating less meat and keeping the thermostat low in the winter and high in the summer. Every little bit we do counts, just like your poem says!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-12983856100911559682019-03-16T09:06:00.520-04:002019-03-16T09:06:00.520-04:00Wonderful!

(Did you see Tabatha&#39;s post?) What I like about this poem is how it covers all the bases and addresses the issue but without scaremongering (which I don&#39;t think the littles are *uite ready for, not can they really grasp, although https://twitter.com/thetinydiplomat?lang=en, who spoke at our DC Strike yesterday)while giving the positive steps that should be standard.

It was also fun to read through the children&#39;s poems. I am rereading With My Hands now and really love how you created such a wonderful flow of poems.

I read of the honor for Greta Thunberg. That is a wonderful thing for her and hopefully for our earth. You&#39;re lucky to have those school visits and to inspire so many poets. They shared some special ones with and for you!

Your just-yesterday-arriving little me song poem &quot;Oh, Earth&quot; is right on the mark. So many tiny but big steps to take, with nearly every breath. And people are making the right moves, led by Ms. Greta Thunberg &amp; her generation. Encouraging. <br /><br />I luv the vibrancy your Clarence Center Elementary young poets.jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-52614529999132613322019-03-15T11:16:15.375-04:002019-03-15T11:16:15.375-04:00The rhythm of your list in stanza two makes the po...The rhythm of your list in stanza two makes the point that lots of small actions add up. &quot;You matter.
